I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on an old laptop - a Fujitsu Lifebook B110 (almost the same model as Casper Dik installed Solaris 10 on :-) and things mostly work now. However, I'm fighting an irritating problem with getting the CardBus interface working.
Using the GA PCMCIA driver it just failed to detect the network cards I installed. So I decided to try this CardBus driver instead, and it works a little bit better - it now can detect cards I install. Only problem is that it hangs then machine at the same time... I *guess* that it is due to the fact that this laptop seems to have decided that it is a good idea to share IRQ 9 between the CardBus interface and the USB interface. (I had problems with the USB ports too before I installed the CardBus driver - my guess is tha the old pcic driver loaded before the usb drivers and then didn't allow them access, but now the situation is reversed). Any ideas/suggestions on how I can solve this? There is absolutely NO settings in the BIOS where I can change the IRQ for the CardBus or USB interfaces (I can reserve IRQ9, but then the system will chose IRQ 11 for *both* interfaces - doh!)
